Scissors with symmetrical handles are better and easier to use, than those with asymmetrical, desiged for right handed people. I am right handed.
Scissors seems targeted. They don’t need to be unusable for left handed people. But scissor companies have chosen a design that is more expensive to manufacture, and less comfortable for everyone just to torture left handed people.
Fwiw there’s more than just the shape of the handle. I don’t fully know why, but even basic symmetrical scissors are worse in the left hand than the right. I believe it has something to do with the slight sideways pressure you inevitably apply when using them, and the direction that pressure is being applied relative to how the two blades are configured.
Absolutely the positioning of the blades is right-favouring. Take any normal pair of “symmetrical” scissors as an exercise and try to cut through a stack of 20 sheets of paper. Note that the scissors twist in your hand. And they happen to twist in the direction that a right-hander finds easiest to control.
